With his illustrious career spanning nearly two-decades now, it would be easy for Inspectah Deck to sit back and rest on his laurels; after all, he has helped create some of the best hip-hop music ever recorded. Despite his low-key persona, Deck carved out his own unique space in the Wu-Tang Clan, thanks to his stand-out verses from “C.R.E.A.M.,” “Protect Ya Neck” and his otherworldly verse on “Triumph” among many. Likewise, who could forget Deck’s contributions on Ghostface’s Ironman (“Assassination Day”), his many appearances on Raekwon’s OBFCL, GZA’s Liquid Swords (“Cold World”) or his collaborations with Gang Starr (“Above The Clouds”) and Big Pun (“Tres Leches” which also featured Mobb Deep’s Prodigy).

Toast by Buttering Trio"Toast" is the debut LP by Buttering Trio, consisting of beats by KerenDun, Rejoicer and Beno, and is the result of the cooperation of the three during the past year, collaborating with the best musicians around.
The beats came to life in three different studios - Wrangelstr. 666 Studio Berlin, Spaceship Studio Kibbutz Dunietz and Kicha Studios Tel Aviv,
making the album a kind of a schizophrenic new-school romantic child.

the weight of the world weighing on my brain in pain, I've been paying since my first name what's the saying? life's a bitch, nah, it's what you make it, nah it is what it is, that's my statement put the world in a word? I would have to say patience and we wonder why we call them patients ...
